Vetted and matched to accelerate your next chapter.
Take 90 seconds to see if Karisma is right for you.
“There comes a point when clarity and growth no longer come from pushing harder. They come from being around the right people.”
Your team needs direction. Your family wants you present. And even when the business is doing well, there are decisions you carry home and doubts you don’t know who to share with.
You can spend all day talking to people and still miss having someone who understands the weight of a difficult hire, a changing partnership or the question of what you actually want next. Someone you can be honest with, without having to explain your whole world first.
Karisma brings you closer to founders who know that feeling. People to think things through with, learn from and enjoy life alongside. People who care about you as much as what you’re building.
The people inside Karisma
From AI entrepreneurs raising millions, to e-commerce founders driving 9-figure ad spend, to healthcare and real estate leaders. Our members are already winning. What they come for is what they can’t buy: authentic connections, clarity and the willingness to share what they have learned in a curated circle built to last.
The right people can help you move your business forward, grow as a person and build friendships that last beyond the next meeting.
Work through the decisions that matter with founders who bring experience you can learn from. Hiring a leader, entering a new market or stepping out of day-to-day operations.
If you choose to join a Mastermind, it gives you time to work through a challenge in depth. Personal introductions connect you with members whose experience is relevant to what you are building.
Being a founder is only part of who you are. Have honest conversations about leadership, the pressure you carry and what you want your life to look like.
Spend time with people who challenge your thinking and share openly about their own experience. Give yourself space to reflect, change your perspective and decide what matters to you.
Find friends you can open up to, who understand your ambition and care about the person behind the business.
Shared dinners, time outdoors and experiences together give those friendships space to grow. Take a break from being responsible for everything and enjoy being part of something.
At Karisma we believe transformation happens face to face. Real connections are built through eye contact, shared experiences, and being in the same space.
Tell us what you are navigating. We look for founders whose experience or perspective could make your next conversation useful.
Introductions shaped around your goals and where you are now.Karisma began with shared homes, retreats and people spending time together. Through every experience, we kept noticing the same thing: the people around us changed how we thought, what we believed was possible and how we felt about our lives.
As the community grew, we learned something the hard way. More people didn’t always mean more connection. We wanted people to know each other beyond what they did for work. To share the difficult things, challenge each other honestly and build friendships that continued long after an event.
So we made a choice: go deeper, rather than bigger.
Today, we bring together founders in Barcelona who care about growing their businesses and themselves. People with experience to share, curiosity about others and the generosity to show up for each other. That is why we put so much care into who joins and how people meet.
The three of us are doing that work too. Learning to listen, speak honestly and grow together. We’re building the kind of community we want in our own lives.
Marc, Stavros & DoryCo-founders of Karisma
We receive over 300 applications every month and accept fewer than 10%. Every member is personally interviewed. It’s how we preserve the quality, trust and integrity of the community.
Karisma is a highly curated community of conscious, high-level founders who exchange value, share experience, support each other’s growth and build genuine friendships.
We believe the people you surround yourself with shape the business you build and the life you live. That’s why Karisma brings together business growth, personal development, and connection & wellbeing. A place to be yourself, learn from one another and enjoy life together.
Founders who want to grow their business, grow as a person and find people they genuinely connect with. People who are curious about others and willing to share their own experience.
You run a seven or eight figure business, have raised at least one million, or have sold a company and are building again. We also take time to understand you as a person and what you’re looking for in the community.
It starts with a personal conversation about where you are in business and in life, what you’re looking for and what you’d love to share. From there, we help you connect with members and experiences that are relevant to you.
You get to know people over time through personal intros, shared experiences and regular conversations. The aim is to build relationships you want to keep investing in.
The membership brings together personal intros, Masterminds, curated dinners and member-led activities. Some conversations are about a business challenge. Others are about personal growth, a shared interest or simply spending time together.
Masterminds are optional to join. The member calendar shows what’s coming up, so you can choose the experiences that matter to you.
We get to know the person behind the business. That helps us make thoughtful intros and bring together people who have something meaningful to share with each other.
There’s space for ambition, honest conversations and friendship. We care about who you’re becoming as much as what you’re building.
We review your application and, if there’s a potential fit, invite you to a personal conversation. We want to understand your business, what you’re seeking and what you can contribute. Meeting the business criteria is a starting point, not automatic acceptance.
We look for people who are open, curious and generous with their experience. The exchange of value goes both ways.
Make time for the connections you choose. Masterminds are optional, and you choose experiences around your interests and availability. If you decide to join a Mastermind, we discuss the group’s schedule and commitments with you first.
Tell us how often you’re in Barcelona during your membership conversation. We’ll look at the calendar and commitments together, so you can decide whether you’ll be able to take part regularly enough to get value from it.
You don’t have to live in Barcelona, but this membership is built around spending time together in person. If you visit regularly, we can discuss whether it fits your life.
Tell us. We’ll talk through what feels missing and review the fit with you. Good connections matter, and your feedback helps us make better intros and group matches.
We review your application first. If there is a potential fit, we arrange a personal conversation. If both sides feel aligned and you are accepted, we guide you through onboarding and your first month.
What changes when you give the person behind the business the same attention as the business itself?
